Love My New OR Seattle Rain Hat

Received my new hat just in time to take hiking on a rainy day! Worked perfect and kept my head nice and dry!

I AM buying this product again.

I had my O.R. rain hat (blue with black trim) for 30 years and used it all the time here in wet Western Washington...until my car was stolen and my "Seattle Sombrero" along with it. The car was recovered, somewhat worse for wear, but all contents, including my rain hat, were gone. My hat was purchased at a different well-known outdoor gear store, but they are no longer stocking the brand. So, I intend to purchase the replacement from the manufacturer. I expect my new hat to last at least as long as the one I lost.

Great rain hat

I bought this for my husband to wear when doing outdoor activities in the rain. He has worn it several times and loves it. The hat keeps him dry and looks much better than a lot of hats on the market. We would highly recommend.

Why remove the Velcro adjustment?

I agree 100% with the earlier reviewer regarding OR's unfortunate decision to eliminate the Velcro adjustment strap. This would have been my third Seattle Sombrero (Rain Hat) however I had to return it ($6.95 shipping) because I can no longer fine tune the size. Otherwise, it is a 5-star hat if your head is a specific size.

perfect for hiking in sun or wind or rain!

I've worn this a couple of times already and really like it. I like how it fits - not too loose or tight - and love that you can secure it with the strings that hang in front (it's currently pretty windy here so definitely need to use that feature). It doesn't make my head too warm. The size of the brim is great for keeping the sun off my face. I love that you can velcro the sides up as needed. And best of all it's goretex so when I hike in the rain my head should stay dry.

Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero

These my the number one head gear. I have had several of them for decades and give them out as gifts I use them for work and recreation. I've used mine all over the world. I've used them to hike and climb ‍♀️ in all conditions. They have a wide brim and complete 360 visibility. Thank you

Perfect for walks in the rain

Great hat - warm and weatherproof. So much better than having to wear a hood!

Best of Rain Hats

My new hat is terrific! I like the color as well as the generous fit, which allows me to wear a stretchy black hat under it, covering my ears. And the brim is awesome - wide and super protective. My glasses are not spotted with rain! Thank you!
